Château Prieuré-Lichine is a historic 500-year-old Bordeaux estate in the prestigious Margaux appellation, established by monks of Vertheuil Abbey in the 12th century. Classified as a Fourth Grand Cru in the 1855 Paris World's Fair classification, the château combines centuries of winemaking heritage with contemporary excellence. Spanning 78 hectares with plantings of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Petit Verdot, it sits prominently on the scenic Route des Châteaux. Following its acquisition by Russian-American wine merchant Alexis Lichine in 1951, the estate has evolved under modern management while preserving its cultural and architectural significance, offering visitors a jewel of history and viticulture in the heart of Bordeaux wine country.
